Should an 8 yr old have a cell phone?

My BF received a call last night from his daughter saying that BM just bought her her own cell phone. Is it normal for an 8 year old to have a cell phone? Personally, I think it's too young but I don't have any kids of my own so I don't know. I do know that she doesn't play sports, doesn't participate in school activities and gets dropped off and picked up from school so I see no reason for her to have one. Other than her being spoiled, this is the only reason I can see why she now has one.
